Shinseki resigning for a VA scandal is like Obama taking credit for destroying al-Qaeda.

Neither of them did what was necessary…

…and neither the VA scandal nor al-Qaeda are going away.

Woke up this morning…the VA scandal and al-Qaeda are both still there.

But, unlike his false claims about al-Qaeda, Obama IS responsible for the VA scandal.

First, think about this: Eric Shinseki was a 4-star Army General. His entire adult life was about following orders from his superiors; ultimately, from his commander-in-chief.

Is there any belief he disobeyed orders from Obama while serving as the VA secretary? Of all Obama’s appointees, General Shinseki was the most likely to follow orders to a ‘t’.

With over 40 years military service, he would have been appalled by the mistreatment of our American veterans in the VA system, and would’ve done something if he could.

He had full authority as Obama’s VA secretary, in charge of Veterans Affairs since ’09.

But you can bet, as the military man Shinseki was, he followed orders meticulously…

…orders given him by his boss…Barack H. Obama.

On the battlefield, linear logic tells a general that his soldiers, responsible for personal appearance and equipment upkeep, must give 1st priority to their weapons…

…not spit-shined shoes or combed hair.

Similarly, linear logic tells him top priority in a VA system must be veterans’ health care; no amount of mindless blather about less important issues can hide that truth.

Doesn’t the media find it at all odd that the VA’s top priority – the health and well-being of veterans – was not receiving the attention it deserved from its Secretary?

Just 2 weeks ago, Shinseki claimed ignorance of a 2010 VA memo sent by his under-Secretary to VA regional directors…warning against use of deceptive, deadly patient scheduling practices…and calling for ‘immediate action’ to correct those deceptions.

Plus, from Obama on down, during speeches and Congressional hearings, all spoke of addressing VA education, job training, homelessness, implying equal importance… bragging about their achievements in these areas, while dodging healthcare questions.

Are Americans okay with our veterans dying for lack of care, while tax dollars fund medical professionals in the VA to perform non-medical union business instead?

Federal employee unions have been doing this for years, Mark Tapscott of the Washington Examiner reminds BlueCollar…they did a series on it in February.

For BCP, it takes on a different perspective when veterans die because of VA neglect.

As a Marine who served in Vietnam, it’s infuriating to see how callous Democrats, this Administration…and the mainstream media…are, to the plight of veterans who stood up for an America that now won’t stand up for them.

Obama and his team hid bad news of VA (criminal) neglect for 5 years, to push O’care.

They did nothing. Repeat: they did nothing about it.

They kept VA abuses hidden for a political purpose of pushing Obamacare on America.

Now, Harry Reid and Senate Democrats refuse to bring House VA reform bills to a vote.

Repeat: Senate Democrats refuse to bring VA reform bills to the floor for a vote.

And the Inspector General finds the ’24-day’ avg wait time the Phoenix VA reported is really…115 days, confirming that “…wait time schemes and data manipulation are systemic throughout VA and are putting veterans at risk.”

But Obama, who sees treatment of vets as ‘a sacred trust’, is waiting for a final report.

Over 40 VA treatment centers are suspected of ‘systemic’ schemes. Any bets that those schemes are identical, from location to location? Which means…coordinated!
